The Mendelssohn Quintette To night.

uc NiCuuciSSOuu " ulub6GG0 L u ulSuU.
The Opera House should be and will be
full tonight, to listen to the classical
music of the Mendelssohn Quintette. 1t is
a famous musical organic alton OF which
Stanton has always shown strong ap-
probation, and its concerts are attended
for two reasons-one that the performance
is an extraordinary one in the field of art,
and the other that there is no other orga-
nization in America, and not more than
one in Europe, that can give it. The
Quintette stands alone, and from its high
eminence not only satisfies refined taste in
music, but creates and educates it.
AS this is the second of the Stanton
Music Teachers series of high art con-
eerts, there will bs large attendance Of
the pupils at the female colleges, so others
going would do we'll to secure their seats
this morning, if they have not already
done so, for a large portion Of the house
is occupied by the pupils, and seats for
the public to chose from will not be plen-
tiful by noon to-day. The box sheet is open
at Oliyier's.

The Petersburg "IndeX-Appeal" (In-
dependent) pay the following deserved
tribute to the Dem ocratic party of Vir-
ginia
''Whatever opinion may be entertained re-
specting the Roanoke platform-and no one
is further from endorsing its debt plank than
we are-there can be no just diversity of
opinion as to the sincerity of the Democratic
members of the legislature elected on it, or
their fidelity to its principles. We would
gladly see them exercise, in the interests of
right and the public good, wider discretion
in settling the debt than is conferred on them
by the Roanoke platform, but in maintaining
the Riddleberger bill they are undoubtedly
obeying the orders of their constituents, if
platforms signify anything. So, also, res
pecting the tariff. The Democratic members
of the legislature have boldly proclaimed their
faith in the face of what seems to be major
ity of their national brethren. We are glad
to record the fact, not only as evidence of a
courageous conviction, but as refutation of
the charges of insincerity and hypocrisy made
by the enemies of Democracy, who alleged
that the adoption of the principles of the
Roanoke platform was simply an expedient to
win by deluding the people with promises
which would never be fulfilled when the party
came into power. 1t always gives US more
pleasure to commend than to condemn the
Democratic party, and the present occasion is
certainly one in which praise is merited.

EX-SECRETARY MANNIN @

Daniel Manning, of New York, Presi-
dent Cleveland's first Secretary of the
Treasury, died at Albany. N. Y. last
week. A few months ago he retired from
the Secretaryship, having broken his
health and literally given his life for his
country in his conscientious effort to serve
her. He came, like Cleveland, from the
people, and like him commenced life as an
errand boy. His election to the high post
he filed was one of those events which IL
lustrate the value Of democratic govern
ment in opening the field of opportunity
to every man. At his burial on Monday
the President and Cabinet attended and
the funeral cortege included thousands of
American people following to the grave
one who was type of them.
